Reading the Forested Landscape, by Tom Wessels

If you haven't read Tom Wessels' books, you're in for a treat. If you're headed out to the woods, particularly in New England, I recommend "Reading the Forested Landscape". It's like a detective story for uncovering the history of the woods that you are walking through. His latest book, "The Myth of Progress", argues that our society's current path of economic growth is contrary to three fundamental laws of science.
